I'm having a weird issue with lstrip, with the following setup I get:
In[42]: file_path
Out[42]: 'C:\\Users\\User\\Documents\\Company\\MATLAB\\V_Common\\v_matlab\\V_Scripts\\Yaw\\getYaw.m'
In[43]: folder_path
Out[43]: 'C:\\Users\\User\\Documents\\Company\\MATLAB\\V_Common\\v_matlab'
In[44]: file_path.lstrip(folder_path)
Out[44]: 'Scripts\\Yaw\\getYaw.m'
Why is the 'V_' part disapearing? Doing this to a example path doesn't give the same result.
In[45]: 'C:\\a\\b\\V_\\e\\f'.lstrip('C:\\a\\b')
Out[45]: 'V_\\e\\f'
In[46]: file_path.startswith(folder_path)
Out[46]: True
In[47]: file_path[len(folder_path)+1:]
Out[47]: 'V_Scripts\\Yaw\\getYaw.m'
Is there some special functionality in lstrip that I'm missing?
